MP Abbas Al-Madhi, during his participation in the 6th Asian Parliamentary Assembly Conference (APAC) being held in the Pakistani capital Islamabad, affirmed enormous challenges facing achieving economic, energy and environment cooperation at the Asian level, noting the importance of improving the standard of living of low income groups in the Asian societies.
